Responding to the news that a letter was sent from Ysgol Dyffryn Nantlle, in Penygroes, Gwynedd stated that pupils will not be allowed school meals if they are “more than a penny in debt”, Welsh Liberal Democrat Senedd Member for Mid & West Wales Jane Dodds said:
“Punishing children and families for circumstances out of their control is never acceptable. Gwynedd Council should immediately step in to rectify the situation.
“The Welsh Government should also be considering what it can do to help struggling families out. Unfortunately, as the cost of living crisis hits families across Wales, more and more parents are going to be struggling with paying for school meals.”.
